About – Wesleyan Gospel Choir Alumni

About Our Organization

The Savannah State University Wesleyan Gospel Choir Alumni (SSU WGCA) was created by former members of the Savannah State University Wesleyan Gospel Choir who desired to continue the legacy and fellowship established during their time in the choir.
The alumni choir held its first reunion concert in 1997 at Second Arnold Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia. The next reunion followed approximately thirteen years later in 2010 at First Jerusalem Baptist Church. Later in 2016 and 2018, the alumni reunion was held at the West Broad Street Seventh-Day Adventist Church, both in Savannah, GA. These reunions have provided opportunities for alumni to reconnect, foster professional networks, and unite their voices once again in the spirit and sound of Wesleyan.
In 2021, a small group of Wesleyan alumni recognized the importance of supporting the current Wesleyan Gospel Choir in ways that may not have been available to them during their time as students. Inspired by the compassion and dedication of the choir’s founder, Mr. Gerron D. Miller, this group committed themselves to continuing his legacy of musical and spiritual excellence.

Our Mission
The mission was clear: to galvanize former choir members—now alumni—into a supportive community that offers both financial and moral assistance to current Wesleyan Gospel Choir students. This support includes scholarships for books and tuition, contributions toward the choir’s annual tour, and engagement in community fellowship and outreach.
With this purpose in mind, the SSU WGCA officially established its leadership team:
• Mrs. Rachel Hall, President
• Rev. Kenneth M. Rouche’, 1st Vice President
• Mr. Vince Chandler, 2nd Vice President
• Dr. Brenda L. Roberts, Secretary
• Mr. Gregory Buckles, Treasurer
• Mrs. Rosetta Gundy, Assistant Treasurer
• Mr. Luther Washington III, Music Director
• Mr. Spencer E. White III, Member-at-Large

Honoring the Legacy of Mr. Spencer E. White III

In August 2023, the SSU WGCA honored Mr. Spencer E. White, III, one of the founding members and long-time director in celebration of his 70^th birthday. The tribute was held in conjunction with “the SSU WGCA Reunion Concert at First Tabernacle Baptist Church in Savannah.
